The effect of implant‐supported removable partial dentures on oral health quality of life

Abstract: Patients reported improved oral health following conversion to an ISRPD from RPD. The ISRPD involving short implants is one treatment option that should be considered when treatment planning Kennedy Class I and II patients.

“…Only 6% demonstrated a reliable improvement for T2–T3. This positive effect of an implant treatment on OHRQoL has been noted by several recent studies . Patients with a Kennedy III classification had a statistically significant higher OHIP score at intake (T1) and after 2 weeks of surgery (T2) than did patients with a Kennedy II classification.…”

“…Since denture complaints from partly edentulous patients resemble those of fully edentulous patients, providing implant support to RPDs may be to the functional and psychological benefit of partly edentulous patients too. It presumably improves stability, retention and chewing ability, patient comfort in general, and even nutrient intake . The use of unaesthetic clasps can often be avoided with implant support …”

“…Also, patients tend to use the anterior areas for mastication, since they have a better efficiency on the teeth then on the rotational end of the saddle. Researches show that, for free-end saddle RPDs, an implant positioned in the distal area offers an additional support and retention which is essential for the long-term prognostic of the treatment and also for patient's satisfaction [3,16]. This solution avoids the rotation of the denture towards the mucosa, so common for classical free-end saddle RPDs, and transforms a class I or II Kennedy edentulous patient in a class III Kennedy one [17], changing completely the biodynamic of the denture during function.…”
